70.3

Another image appeared before Ji Yunhe's eyes. It was the... Grand Master... But it was the young Grand Master.

He was standing in front of another man, talking while gesturing on a piece of paper. It seemed to contain a layout of the Ten Square Formation. No need to guess, Ji Yunhe knew this was the Grand Master giving advice to Ning Ruochu. So he had taught the Ten Square Formation to Ning Ruochu.

Ning Ruochu questioned something, and the Grand Master put the paper away and turned to leave. Ning Ruochu then immediately chased after him and took the paper back. Ji Yunhe was a little confused.

"Didn't they study under the same master? And didn't Ning Ruochu die because of the Ten Square Formation..."

"He lied to him," the woman said. "He told Ning Ruochu the Ten Square Formation only needed the power of ten great demon masters. He also told Ning Ruochu it wouldn't kill anyone, and he would be able to enter the formation afterwards and accompany the jade phoenix."

Ji Yunhe looked at the two men in her vision and thought of the small paradise Qing Ji had created inside the Ten Square Formation.

She and Changyi were able to get out of the formation because she had disguised herself as Ning Ruochu and dissolved Qing Ji's demonic attachment. So Ning Ruochu never lied to Qing Ji? He really did think he could enter the formation to be with her. The one who lied was the Grand Master?

"Tell Qing Ji the Grand Master killed Ning Ruochu, tell her to take revenge." Ji Yunhe searched around with her eyes, but she could not find the woman in white anymore.

"And who are you? How did you know? And why are you telling me this stuff?"

"I want him to die."

"Who? The Grand Master? You want Qing Ji to kill him?"

"This is my atonement..."

Ji Yunhe wanted to keep asking, but the wind in her ears stopped and she felt a sharp pain in her forehead. The ball of light disappeared and the woman's voice faded. She slowly opened her eyes after a moment of darkness. What she then saw was the frowning face of Kongming, and he was pulling a silver needle out of her forehead.

"She's awake."

He got up and stepped back, revealing Changyi who was standing behind him. Changyi's face looked stiff and pale, He looked at her as if he did not have time to react.

Only once Ji Yunhe sat up did his eyes finally show some movement, like a stagnant pool disturbed by a drop of water, rippling endlessly. Ji Yunhe was a bit perplexed.

"I just napped a bit, what's wrong with you guys?" Kongming sneered as he put the silver needles into a bag.

"A bit? You've been out cold for two days." He glimpsed at Changyi.

"If people didn't know better, they would think my medicine killed you."

Ji Yunhe was shocked after hearing the first part. The dream felt so short, but two days had passed...

After hearing the second part, she wanted to laugh. Looking at Changyi's expression, did he think the joke she made earlier had become a prophecy...

She smiled at Changyi. Suddenly he marched over to her bedside, held her chin up and lifted her head.

While Ji Yunhe and Kongming were both confused as to what he was going to do, Changyi pressed his lips against hers again. Again!

Ji Yunhe's jaw dropped and her eyes bulged out in shock. And the bag of needles Kongming was holding fell to the ground.

When Ji Yunhe came back to her senses, she raised her hands to push Changyi away. But she was so weak, he easily restrained her arms with just one hand. At that moment, a blue light flashed inside his chest.

Realizing what he was going to do, the monk came out of his shock and yelled, "You're crazy!" He stepped forward to pull Changyi off of Ji Yunhe, but was bounced away by a powerful force before he could even get close. The force was so great it threw him into the wall.

And Changyi's lips were still so soft. The blue light floated from his chest to his throat, then crossed their lips and into Ji Yunhe's mouth. It disappeared into her body before she could react. His lips lingered for a while before finally releasing her. Kongming got up from the ground burning with anger.

"You bastard fish! Are you out of your mind?! Our men are out there fighting with everything they've got, and you gave her your jiaozhu to renew her life?!"

Jiaozhu?

The spiritual power of a demon master came from their hidden pulse, while the demonic power of a demon came from an inner pearl. The inner pearl of a jiaoren was called jiaozhu. Changyi giving his jiaozhu to Ji Yunhe was basically using all of his own demonic power to renew her life, and he himself... would become powerless... He...

"You really are crazy." Ji Yunhe wiped her mouth.

"I do not want it, take it back!" Changyi held on to her chin, his blue eyes were like a whirlpool in the sea, pulling her in.

"If I want to give it, then you have to take it."
